Allergic reaction/cortisone?
Should I slowly decrease the dose of
cortisone
like you do when taking it over a longer period of time or is it okay to not do this?

I've had an idea
I didn't think of it at the time but wouldn't a better alternative be to continue reducing the oral pred and have a local
cortisone
injection where it's needed? That would seem preferable to methatroxate.

Adrenal glandulars
So I got my first ever bovine adrenal cortex (BSE-free) supplement delivered today in the post and took half a capsule (125mg) just before. FYI, I did a private 8.30am serum cortisol test via Medichecks recently: 323 nmol/l (133 - 537). That was a finger prick blood sample, so not the most accurate

When is the best time to increase my NDT meds, during Adrenal Recovery
Please could anyone give me an idea as to how much Adrenal Cortex/
Cortisone
they were taking when they started to increase their NDT ? I currently take 175mg Nutri Adrenal, plus 100mg Thorne Adrenal Cortex. Thank you so much for your help.

My proof that Stress gives Hashi Flare + Low Cortisol
I had considered myself 'more or less' healed earlier this year, after 36 years or so of feeling utterly revolting. Then I had to move - vile millionaire landlord gave me notice after 8 years and I had to move within 6 weeks. So, decorating & scrubbing house to get my full deposit back. Then I managed

Cold, Allergy or non-allergic rhinitis?
Luckily, symptomatic treatment is about the same regardless: Old (type 1) antihistamines, decongestants & OTC
cortisone
nasal spray. And it was over in 3-4 days!

Should I persevere with NDT or trial T3 monotherapy?
Hi, I have been self treating with NDT for 17 months. I increased my dose very gradually up to 3.25 grains. There were slight improvements in my energy and brain fog initially but I have not seen the improvement that I need to allow me to function or have a quality of life. I am considering a trial of

Anxiety and depression
Has anyone developed panic attacks and depression when they have got down to 6mg. Lovely doc has given me lorazapam which really helps. My problem is do I continue reducing .....using the very slow method or stay as I am for a few more weeks. Could the depression and panic attacks be caused by low cortisol
